The Best Damon Salvatore Moments on ‘The Vampire Diaries’
‘The Vampire Diaries’ was a hit right from the start, with its mix of supernatural romance, interesting characters and exciting twists. And among all the drama, fans couldn’t get enough of Damon Salvatore. He was the older brother in the Salvatore family, and he had this amazing combination of being funny, dangerous, charming, and super romantic.
At first, Damon is the bad guy, but he goes through this incredible transformation, mostly because of the love he got from Elena. Whether he was being a caring brother or showing kindness, Damon knew how to make fans love him and stay glued to the show.
When Damon appeared in ‘The Vampire Diaries’, it added even more excitement to the already mysterious story, especially with everyone wondering about Stefan. After being away from Stefan for 15 years, Damon made a grand entrance with a crow, letting everyone know he was back. And as he stepped into the Salvatore Boarding House, he greeted Stefan with his famous “Hello, Brother” line.
Elena didn’t want to become a vampire, so finding a cure was crucial for her. The challenge, however, was that Elena turned into a vampire while Damon remained human. In a rare vulnerable moment, Damon confessed to Elena that he missed being human every day but hid it behind a brave front.
Damon, who always praised the perks of being a vampire, resented Stefan for making him fully turn. In an honest conversation with Elena, he expressed his readiness to take the cure if it meant living a happy human life with her.
Despite Damon’s previous animosity towards Stefan, it transformed into genuine care and affection. When Stefan struggles with feelings for Caroline, Damon tries to help him see the light in his comical way, using Miss Cuddles, Bonnie’s teddy bear, to deliver his message.
In Season 3, Elena chose Stefan over Damon because she met Stefan first. However, a surprising flashback revealed that Damon had encountered Elena on the street years ago. Their initial meeting was harmonious and Damon recognized in Elena a young woman seeking passion and adventure, foreshadowing their eventual love story.
Damon formed a deep connection with Rose, who defected to their side to protect Elena from the Originals. Despite Rose being bitten by a werewolf and passing away, Damon ensured her final moments were peaceful and happy by creating beautiful scenery for her using his telepathic powers.
Damon’s feelings for Elena were evident long before she realized them. In a highly emotional moment, he found Elena’s vervain necklace and confessed his love. Unselfishly, Damon compelled her to forget his words to spare her pain, marking a significant moment of growth for him.
